<p>Im in year 11 and am currently about to finish my IGCSE (British curriculum). I have the following options for the next academic year:</p>
<p>1)Stay in my school and complete a levels and also do SAT I and 2 SATII subject tests (Will get no assistance with any SATI/II as my school is british and won't be familiar with the work) - Also the work i do will have no relevance to my SATII subject test
2)Transfer to the american school and take 3 aps my junior year (this is the max the schools allows) and take 3/4 (this again is the max allowed for seniors) and get a lot of assistance for the SAT.</p>
<p>Keep these things in mind: I am a US citizen that intends to go to university in the US (possibly Canada - not too sure though).The school i am now is very strong academically. However, the american school does have good teachers but isnt as strong academically but they provide a lot of extracurriculars which are a big deal to US colleges whilst my current school only offers a few. I am a capable student so I don't mind some self-studying if the teachers are bad as this school is much easier than the one i currently attend.</p>
<p>I havefriends that attend the American school which said it'll be better if i got there as it will prepare me better for going to university as there are counselors etc that will help you. Such things are not offered in my current school. </p>
<p>After reading this, which course do you think i should do?</p>
<p>You posted the same question in the UK section. You got a couple of good replies.
I also say you should go to the US school if you’re set on studying in the States.</p>
<p>Yah i know. I just want to get some more opinions. Thanks for the advice though (:</p>
<p>If you stay in the British school, you’ll be judged on your IGCSE’s, your AS Level results and you A Levels predicted results. You’ll be compared to other students enrolled in British-patterned schools.
If you attend the American school, you’ll be judged based on your IGCSE’s then your junior-senior GPA. It’s up to you to figure out where you’d be most competitive.
However, since you intend to go to an American college, it’d make sense to “transfer” to the American school. Before you do that, inquire about post-graduation results: where do students at your current school go? Among those who try to attend American colleges, where are they admitted? At the American school, what schools do students attend?</p>
<p>Thanks for the help (: I’ll make sure i ask them about post graduation results as that is a very important factor.</p>
<p>It may be worth your while to pop by the closest office of EducationUSA: <a href=“https://www.educationusa.info/centers.php[/url]”>https://www.educationusa.info/centers.php</a> Find out which counselors there have worked with US citizens lately. If none of them have, they certainly have colleagues in other offices with that experience.</p>
<p>Good luck with everything!</p>
